Michael L. Eichendorf – Rochester Michael L. Eichendorf passed on into eternal life on December 16, 2025 at Methodist Hospital after an extended battle with medical issues. Mike was born at St. Mary's Hospital on October 28, 1946. He was 79. He attended St. John's Catholic Grade School and graduated from Lourdes High School in 1964. He also attended Rochester Jr. College and then enlisted in the Navy for four years. He was stationed in Pensacola, Florida where he was an Aircraft Carrier Mechanic and earned the rank of E5 Second Class AME. He worked on the Blue Angels.

After his honorable discharge, he got a job at Assisi Heights as a boiler engineer, serving the needs of the Franciscan sisters for 53 years. Mike is survived by his sister Judy (Eichendorf) Kidder and her husband Bill. He is also survived by loving nieces and nephews, friends and relatives.

His family would like to thank the loving, caring staff of Samaritan Bethany, as well as the Mayo staff, doctors, and nurses at St. Mary's and Methodist Hospitals, who took such good care of Mike. We are comforted by Psalm 23: "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."
